Whoopi Goldberg wants Emmett Till’s prosecutor to “confess to what she did”

Whoopi Goldberg finds it surreal that Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman behind Emmett Till’s lynching, is still a free woman.

“I don’t want her in jail, but I want her in front of a judge and jury,” the 66-year-old actress told Page Six exclusively at the New York Film Festival.

“I want her to admit what she did and what role she had,” she added. “And then, you know, it would be perfect for me, instead of trying to hide what she did.”

Earlier this year, a Mississippi grand jury declined to prosecute Donham, whose claim that Till had whistled at her, led to him lynching on August 28, 1955. A black teenager from Chicago who died at the age of 14 was visiting relatives in Mississippi when he met Donham at the grocery store where she worked.

Donham, who was 21 at the time of Till’s murder and now 88, has never been arrested or charged with involvement in lynching. Her then husband Roy Bryant and brother-in-law JW Milam, both from death, were acquitted of his murder.

Goldberg is one of the producers of the new film “Till,” inspired by Emmett’s mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, constantly seeking justice for her only child.

The Oscar-winner revealed that she and her fellow producers had tried to bring the film to completion for a decade before finally getting financial support after the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent “Black Lives Matter” protests.

Goldberg, who also stars in the movie as Alma Carthan, told Page Six that she didn’t think the movie would have been made any other way.

“I wish I could be more positive, but I think George Floyd had a lot to do with why it came about,” she said.

“Till,” also starring Jalyn Hall, Danielle Deadwyler and Frankie Faison, is slated for a limited release on October 14th.
